The Winter Carnival parade is Sunday after the street events on Lincoln Avenue. Anyone is welcome to participate, but only those who use a diamond hitch are eligible to be judged. The entry fee is a $7 Winter Carnival button, which is used to attend all of the week’s events.

Entry forms can be found at www.sswsc.org, the Winter Sports Club offices or the Chamber visitors center. Call 970-879-0695, ext. 100, with questions.

Event artist applications are accepted until March 1

Applications for artist entries for the 10th Annual Bust of Steamboat are being accepted until March 1. Final selections will be awarded by May 1.

The Yampa Valley Breast Cancer Awareness Project selection committee is looking for 20 artists and sponsors for the October fundraiser. In order to draw the highest possible bids, this year’s entries will be hand-selected by panel of judges. This selection also will ensure a variety of media representation and a diversity of talent. Applications and artistic ideas can be submitted by visiting www.thebustofsteamboat.org or calling 970-846-4554. All funds raised benefit Routt and Moffat county women in the fight against breast cancer. The 10th annual Bust of Steamboat will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Oct. 21 at Three Peaks Bar & Grill.
